rams80 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 So yeah, giving a newly industrialized country with massive urban poverty the World Cup and the Olympics in close succession may not have been the best idea after all.

twi Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Iirc, Oceania's own New Zealand was the only team in the World Cup to not lose a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Brazil vs Italy? Aye, go on then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Meanwhile, steering the subject onto kits...I'm a little perplexed as to why both teams are wearing their second choice shorts this evening. Italy (classed as the home team) have opted to abandon their white shorts and instead go for blue, meaning that Brazil have had to drop their traditional blue in favour of cladding their thighs in their alternative white pairs.I pointed this oddity out to Mrs Cake, who looked at me like I was odd or something.

-kj Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 FIFA forces the teams to wear strange combinations. I have yet to figure out their logic, though it does seem that they prefer teams in monochrome kits. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

I have yet to figure out their logic, though it does seem that they prefer teams in monochrome kits.Indeed, it's something they've apparently been encouraging in recent years - but that said, getting both teams to wear their second choice shorts (which just so happen to be the colours of their opponent's first choice) was a tad odd, and neither team looked quite right.A lot of the well known, classic kit combinations feature contrasting short/sock combinations and it would be a shame to see these phased out in favour of monochrome versions.

I can see why they made them switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 FIFA have a rule that in global competitions one team has to be in 'light' jerseys (white/yellow etc.), the other in 'dark', so that those still watching in black and white are able to tell the difference. Can't see why this would have necessitated the shorts switch but possibly something to do with it. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
